The first if just enough, as far as I can see. Why did you add the second? Do I miss any case where the first one is not sufficient?
Well, I concede that bjam file syntax is inpenetrable to me. I don't remember how I ended up with both of these. I suppose that I had concluded that "requirements" was to list a requirement to build the library while "usage-requirements" was to list a requirement to use the library. This could occur because the standard library is required to work for the library to build. Also, since std io headers are used when templates are instantiated, I added the dependency the "usage requiremement" But of course now I don't remember what I was thinking - if anything. Note that including this did produce the effect that I desired. For example, when building the library for mingw which doesn't support wide char i/o the library build and tests for wide char io are automatically skipped as was my intention. Presumably they will be skipped on any platform which doesn't support wide char i/o without anyone having to make any special provision such as markup etc. So, now that I've described my intention as far as "dependency" is concerned, perhaps you might suggest how it might be better expressed. While you're at it, you might explain something else. I included "test.jam" so that my other test directories (performance tests, no-rtti, not checked in) could share the bjam code. I was supprised to find that this file had to be named "test.jam" rather than "test.v2" as I would have expected.
and it was shown on my local machine with a green checkmark indicating that it was in sync with the server. - which is why I assumed that it was checked in which was why the whole problem occurred.
Oh, you're using some GUI. It might be acting up, then.
I use tortoise SVN for window/XP. Which is very cool interface. But like all such things - sometimes its a little "truculant". Oh well - maybe there is a god. Robert Ramey
